Thieves used the quiet Christmas period to drill their way into the vault of a German retail bank and make off with at least 10 million euros’ worth of money and valuables from customers’ deposit boxes, police said on Tuesday.


The perpetrators drilled through a thick concrete wall at a branch of Sparkasse bank in the western city of Gelsenkirchen and then broke into several thousand safe deposit boxes and stole a sum estimated in the double-digit millions of euros, the police said in a statement.


Most shops and banks close in Germany over the Christmas period starting from the evening of December 24, and police only discovered the hole after a fire alarm went off in the early hours of Monday, December 29.
